In this holiday romance with an enchanting twist, a magic-averse witch returns home to save her small town's beloved winter festival in time for the holidays with the help of her estranged coven and distractingly handsome childhood rival.
Rowan Midwinter has sworn off magic, and for good reason. A spell gone wrong back in high school left her with nothing but missing memories and regret, so she's not exactly thrilled when she's guilted into returning to her quaint mountain hometown for the first time in years. But it's already Yule and much-needed snow still hasn't fallen, so Rowan reckons she can put up with her family, friends, and former coven if it means saving the town's beloved winter festival from the megacorporation threatening to buy it out.
But Rowan's plans to save the festival and make it through the holiday magic-free go awry when Gavin McCreery, prodigal son of the festival's landlord, insists on helping, and their unwanted chemistry keeps setting off holiday lights literally.
As the quest to keep the festival alive grows increasingly complicated, Rowan realises she must reconnect with what she tried to leave behind - her family, coven, and even her memories - to let go of her fear of magic and let her heart lead the way.
'Sparkling with festive spirit and sizzling chemistry, A Spell for Midwinters Heart is an enchanting, heartfelt tale of rekindled magic and second-chance loveperfect for a snowy winters night' Auralee Wallace, national bestselling author of In the Company of Witches
